Troubleshooting

What are services, and how do I

use them?

Services are provided by your

telephone company, and include basic

features such as Caller ID

†

. Other

services can be accessed through the

Í key, and may include

services such as Call Forwarding

†

and

. Before using your

services, you must activate them by

contacting your local telephone

company. See the section “Using

Services” for more information.

I’m having trouble with services

I have subscribed to – how do I

get help?

Usually your telephone company

supplies a special number to call for

activation of your services. When

you call this number, you must

follow the recorded instructions

carefully. This allows the telephone

company’s system to recognize

your phone and customize it with

the services you have subscribed to.

If you have any activation problems

call your local telephone company.

Why are there no prompts on

the screen when a Call Waiting

call comes in?

to work.

from the Callers List connect?

Incoming calls are recorded with the

area code attached, whether they are

have to remove the area code from

local calls in order to call from the

Callers List, or use the Area Code

area codes automatically removed. See

the section “Customizing your

cord is fully connected to both the

phone and handset.

See the section

“Installation” for information.
